The Highlands July 3 - 1934

The afternoon of June 5th the
Horticultural Society assembled
under the beautiful tree at
Clermont. An almost full membership
and some guests were greeted
by Mary Hutton and her family
at this their first meeting with
them. The was called
pn time by the chairman, Henry
Janney Nichols. The minutes of
the previous meeting were
accepted with minor changes.

The first appointed reader, Emma
Stabler, read us of the beautifying
of railroad station grounds &
surroundings. Under the title
"Gardening between trains", this
interesting reading told of how
in countries abroad this plan
of planting and cultivating the
[?] barren roadsides is
given attention and made to
blossom and delight the traveller
when he passes on his way.
